Linglong, who had closed her eyes, suddenly opened them. Her delicate and lovely little face showed no difference at first glance, but it possessed a touch more immortal grace.
However, upon closer inspection, one would notice that her pupils remained heterochromatic, one golden and one silver.
Regaining her human form, Linglong felt an immense sense of familiarity. This was the form she had used since her birth.
Although her dragon form had been powerful, Linglong could not immediately control the surging physical strength that came with reaching immortality.
Now, back in her human form, she looked at Long Ji and Chen Luo before her. Recalling the recent near-death tribulation, Linglong, in her excitement, rushed towards Chen Luo:
"Master! Thank you! If not for Master, Linglong would surely have perished this time!"
But facing his disciple's gratitude, Chen Luo coughed twice and turned his face away, "Linglong, don't you think your transformation is a little incomplete!"
Linglong froze at his words and instinctively looked down.
Silver fur.
The girl's delicate face turned visibly red. Long Ji, suppressing a smile, activated her Qiankun power and took out her accompanying palace dress from her storage ring, draping it over her foolish daughter:
"Long'er, the scales of our true dragon form are our skin in human form. As for clothes, they should be prepared beforehand during transformation!"
Blushing and shy, Linglong nodded dazedly. As a novice immortal, this first transformation was too stimulating for her. This piece of knowledge, she was sure, would be remembered for a lifetime.
...
At the edge of the Vast Sea Sky Curtain Grand Array,
The light of Qiankun power flickered slightly,
Three figures, a man and two women, appeared within the grand array.
However, the scene within the grand array caused the three to frown in surprise.
Dozens of immortals from the Vast Sea Sect were lying on the floating island, belly-up, half-dead, resembling seafood washed ashore.
Closest to the three was Old Xie, holding two crab claws and already foaming at the mouth.
When Old Xie sensed the fluctuation of Qiankun power, he weakly raised his head. Upon seeing that it was Long Ji, his eyes widened, and he called out excitedly and weakly:
"Niang... Niang! ... You... finally... returned!"
Long Ji and Linglong were both stunned. Was this still the mighty immortal elder of Vast Sea?
Was it not some half-price seafood from a seafood market?
Chen Luo gazed into the distance, and the situation within the entire Vast Sea Minor World was instantly revealed to him. He had a rough guess about what had happened here.
These elders were collateral damage.
With this thought, the young man took a step forward, and spiritual patterns appeared out of thin air beneath his feet.
In a moment, a brand new grand array, never before seen in this world, was constructed.
The array formations in this world were divided into nine grades, from low to high.
Those who had not entered the ranks of array formations could only construct formations that were also not in the ranks, and they were generally difficult to sustain.
Once one reached the level of array formation proficiency, they could construct grade one to three array formations. Array formation masters could construct grade four to six array formations.
Only Grandmasters of Array Formations could construct grade seven to nine supreme array formations.
All ranked array formations could generally be sustained in the world by relying on external spiritual energy.
For example, the sect-protecting grand arrays of the Ten Great Sects were basically supreme array formations of grade seven or higher.
And the Vast Sea Sky Curtain Grand Array, personally constructed by Long Ji, was previously only barely grade eight, yet it was already Long Ji's proudest creation.
This showed how rare high-grade grand arrays were in this land.
Of course, Long Ji, who had stepped into the realm of half-step supreme, was confident in improving the Vast Sea Sky Curtain Grand Array to a grade nine grand array.
Even with endless time and auxiliary precious materials, it might be possible to achieve power beyond grade nine.
However, at this moment, she sensed the aura of a legendary supreme array formation from the array formation Chen Luo had casually constructed.
This made Long Ji, who had been engrossed in the path of array formations her entire life, unable to help but ask, "Master, which legendary supreme array formation is this?!"
Throughout history, although the supreme path of array formations was almost legendary, half-step supreme masters of array formations occasionally appeared in every era.
And the supreme array formations in this world currently had only ten recorded in history, which were also the ten most powerful array formations recognized by the world!
But Long Ji could not recognize the grand array Chen Luo had set up at all, yet its aura clearly surpassed grade nine by far!
Chen Luo, who was fine-tuning the array formation's effects, casually waved his hand and said, "It doesn't have a name, I just thought of it. It can help them recover their state and also improve the aptitude of the young ones in the entire Vast Sea Sect."
Long Ji was startled by his words, but before she could ask further!
A divine light flashed in Chen Luo's eyes: "Rise!"
The grand array, which had only been within a few meters of Chen Luo, suddenly spread outwards rapidly!
In a moment, the spiritual patterns of the grand array covered the entire Vast Sea Minor World from top to bottom.
Within the Vast Sea Sect, from the immortal elders to the ordinary disciples, they looked at the mysterious spiritual patterns that had suddenly appeared around them with strange expressions.
But before they could examine them closely, they saw the spiritual pattern grand array collide with the Vast Sea Sky Curtain!
No, the collision did not happen!
Instead, the grand array extending from Chen Luo's feet silently merged into the Vast Sea Sky Curtain Grand Array.
Long Ji, who had been observing the changes in the grand array with great concentration, was suddenly startled. At this moment, she discovered that the Vast Sea Sky Curtain Grand Array, which she had painstakingly constructed, had completely changed its appearance!
Before Long Ji could ask!
Boom!!!
The Vast Sea Sect reappeared above the Vast Sea, and a semi-transparent spherical light screen completely enveloped the entire Vast Sea Sect.
At this moment, the spherical light screen seemed to come alive, and with every inhale and exhale, the spiritual energy of the boundless Vast Sea trembled.
From all directions, infinite spiritual energy surged towards the Vast Sea Sect.
Due to the extreme density of spiritual energy, spiritual mist, visible to the naked eye, even formed thousands of miles away from the Vast Sea Sect!
And around the Vast Sea Sect, streaks of spiritual energy rainbows rose continuously, as if from a dream.
Beneath the spiritual energy rainbows, even beings without aptitude, if they stayed here for a long time, could have their bodies passively cleansed and transformed by the excessive spiritual energy!
But all of this outside was merely aftershocks!
Within the Vast Sea Sky Curtain, the infinite spiritual energy drawn in was transformed by the profound spiritual patterns into a peculiar energy that was somewhere between spiritual energy and immortal essence.
Even with Chen Luo's active modification, this energy, which could be called semi-immortal essence, possessed completely harmless and vigorous vitality.
A vast amount of spiritual energy gathered within the Vast Sea Sect, and the entire Vast Sea Sect Minor World began to rain down a misty spiritual immortal rain.
Long Ji, somewhat dazed, reached out her hand and caught the specks of spiritual rain. Looking at the spiritual immortal rain, full of vitality, in her hand, Long Ji was rendered speechless.
The immortal essence-depleted immortal elders quickly recovered their strength in the spiritual immortal rain.
And the entire Vast Sea Blessed Land ushered in even more astonishing changes.
